I. Safety Operation

To ensure a safe, comfortable, and smooth driving experience, please read this section thoroughly before your first ride. Your safety is our priority. If you have any questions, please reach out to your local dealer for assistance.

I. Pre-Operation Checklist

Know Your Local Traffic Rules This scooter is categorized as a non-motorized vehicle. While a driver’s license is not required, you must follow the same traffic regulations as pedestrians. Always use crosswalks or non-motorized lanes. When traveling along roadsides, avoid crossing diagonally or making sudden movements into traffic.

Practice Before You Ride Before your first trip, take time to familiarize yourself with all controls. Find a quiet, safe area with flat ground to practice accelerating, braking, reversing, turning, and handling inclines. Do not venture onto busy roads until you are fully confident in your steering.

Vehicle Inspection Before every use, ensure the brakes are responsive, all electronic functions are working correctly, and the battery is fully charged.

⚠️ WARNING:

Moisture Protection: Never expose the electrical system to rain, snow, or damp conditions for long periods. Do not wash the scooter with a direct water hose. If the scooter gets wet, ensure it is completely dry and functional before restarting.

IV. Charging and maintenance of battery

·electric scooter battery maintenance common sense

The lifespan of a battery is not only related to the quality of the product from the manufacturer and the system configuration of the electric mobility scooter, but it also has a lot to do with how the consumer uses and maintains it. Therefore, while demanding quality from the manufacturer, it is also extremely important to understand and master the knowledge of battery maintenance.

1. "Saturated State": Develop the habit of keeping the battery fully charged. Whether you ride 5 miles or 10 miles each day, you should recharge the battery to keep it in a "saturated state" over the long term.

2. Regular Deep Discharge: It is recommended to perform a deep discharge once every two months. Do not store the battery in a discharged state, as this can severely affect its lifespan. The longer it is left idle, the more damage it will sustain.

3. Avoid High Current Discharge: High current discharge can harm the battery, so overloading is not recommended. Temperature greatly affects the battery's capacity,  so the charging time  should be appropriately extended when the temperature is low.

4. Maintain the Scooter and Battery: Ensure that other parts of the scooter are in good condition and keep the battery surface clean. Avoid long-term exposure to sunlight, especially while charging. It is best to store the scooter in a cool, ventilated, and dry place.

2. Do not attempt to open, repair, or modify the internal structure of the motor, as this may damage the motor and void the warranty.It is strictly prohibited to overload and block for a long time, and the dirt on the surface of the motor should be cleaned frequently, especially the dirt on the cable of the motor.It is strictly prohibited to allow water to enter. Crossing water puddles deeper than 5 cm may cause water to enter the motor, potentially resulting in permanent damage to the motor.

3. Do not use gasoline or other chemicals to wipe the electric mobility scooter ’s casing or other parts. Use a soft cloth that has been dampened and wrung out. Additionally, regularly inspect and maintain the electric mobility scooter.

Check daily to see if the battery needs charging, and inspect the brakes before driving to ensure they are functioning correctly. Regularly check if the lever's fixing screws are loose and ensure the lever is in a neutral position. Avoid getting the electrical system wet, and use the scooter only after it has dried. Periodically check the battery status and clean the battery terminals if necessary. If the scooter is not used for a long period, charge it approximately once a month. Regularly inspect the insulation of the wires and ensure all connectors are making good contact. Check if the front and rear tires are wobbling.
